Headed to a hui? Need a six-pack? Here’s where to find the biggest and best selection of craft beer:

Whole Foods

Though not a dedicated bottle shop or liquor store, Whole Foods is the beer drinkers' grocery store, boasting one of the island’s most expansive collections of craft beer. Don’t get scared off by the expensive stereotypes – Whole Foods offers competitive prices on both local and imported beers.

There are two Whole Foods on Oahu – one in Kailua and one at Kahala Mall. A third one at Kakaako's Ward Villages is slated to open in May.

4211 Waialae Ave., Kahala

629 Kailua Rd., Kailua

Village Bottle Shop

The island’s only tap room and bottle shop combo, Village Bottle Shop & Tasting Room at the SALT Complex in Kakaako offers a wide range of craft beer, arranged according to style to help you discover new brews. Follow on Facebook for the latest releases.

“I stock beers I know will be tough to sell,” says co-owner Tim Golden, “because I want to introduce people to new beer and the only way to do that is to carry creative beers you can’t find anywhere else.”

675 Auahi St., Kakaako

Tamura's Fine Wine & Liquors

Bev Mart

Once a hidden gem, Bev Mart is now known for its craft beer selection. “If you tell me another store has a better craft beer selection, I will go out and get a better selection that day,” owner Thomas Hwang told Frolic. Mix and match a six-pack of your own by choosing from dozens of individual bottles.
